Why people are protesting? Ai Weiwei was a frequent spokesmen against the Chinese government and some people believe that this is the exact reason why Al was arrested.

China Blocker works with Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari web browsers and can be downloaded here.

What China loses by people doing this?? lol
Go sign a petition or kill the president, boycotting Chinese websites is ridiculous…

I can’t boycott sites that I already don’t visit. Chinese people may be very nice, but their government is just… laughable isn’t the word. After all, a third world country’s government is bound to be weak and poor… Their government is just that of a third world country, that’s it.
